Exam 1: BIOS251/ BIOS 251 (Latest 2025/ 2026 Update) Anatomy and Physiology I Review| Qs & As| Grade A| 100% Correct (Verified Answers)- Chamberlain Q: Cross section anatomy of the spinal cord Answer: Contains a central grey matter (nerve cell bodies) surrounded by a peripheral white matter (myelinated axons gathered into tracts). The grey matter forms anterior and posterior horns in the shape of a butterfly. Q: The anterior and posterior horns give rise to Answer: nerve roots that exit the CNS forming the peripheral nerves. Q: Organization of grey matter Answer: Anterior horn, Posterior/dorsal horns, Lateral horn Q: Anterior/ Ventral horn Answer: interneurons and somatic motor neurons Q: Posterior/ Dorsal horn Answer: Dorsal root ganglia contain the sensory nerve cell bodies and interneurons Q: Lateral horn Answer: Only found in some sections of the cord and contains the cell bodies for the autonomic nerves (sympathetic nerve fibers) Q: Organization of White Matter Answer: Each region of specialized white matter is known as a funiculus. Funiculus can be further organized into tracts (aka: columns) Ascending and descending tracts. Q: Ascending tracts Answer: Sensory information going from cord to brain (afferent; typically begin with spino-). First order neuron Second order neuron Third order neuron Spinothalamic tract Spinocerebellar tract Q: Types of Ascending Tracts Answer: Spinothalamic tract Spinocerebellar tract Dorsal columns/Medial lemniscus pathway: Fasciculi Gracilis Fasciculi Cuneatus Q: Spinothalamic tracts Answer: light touch, pressure, pain and temperature Q: Spinocerebellar tracts Answer: anterior spinocerebellar and posterior spinocerebellar Q: Dorsal white columns Answer: Contains sensory information from the extremities: Fasciculi Gracilis: lower extremities Fasciculi Cuneatus: upper extremities Q: Descending tracts Answer:
